2 Energy Research Letters Page 2 CAREPI, Poverty Alleviation by Energy Programs: Background and Its Outcomes to develop institutional and technical capacity for conducting energy policy analysis and providing improved energy services to poor communities, in order to alleviate poverty and contribute to sustainable development. Background The core part of the new institutional set up for regional energy policy formulation is the Regional Energy Forum. The forum consists of regional representatives from relevant regional Ministries, private energy sector, industry, representatives of society or societal groups, NGOs and key players in the financial sector, and has as its main task to assist the regional government in developing and implementing regional energy policies. The forum members are assisted by a regional energy technical team which is responsible for developing and maintaining an integrated energyeconomy model which can be used to analyse several scenarios for future energy sector development. The technical team can consists of representatives from local Universities and research institutes. Previously, the Regional Energy Forums and the technical teams are not yet formally in place in the regions. By CAREPI, the establishment of the Regional Energy Forums has significantly been proceed. Objectives The overall goal of the CAREPI project is to develop institutional and technical capacity in three selected regions in Indonesia (West Nusa Tenggara, Central Java/Yogyakarta and North Sumatra) for conducting energy policy analysis and providing improved energy services to poor communities, in order to alleviate poverty and contribute to sustainable development. This requires the establishment and strengthening of the regional energy forums comprising representatives from industry, society and regional government and building capacity in the regions to conduct regional energy planning analysis. It requires a good understanding of the regional energy situation and needs, the priorities of poor communities and the identification of best practice solutions that address these needs, so that people in low income areas may be able to gain access to an improved choice of affordable, efficient and acceptable energy services. Direct Outcomes The expected results of the CAREPI project are grouped according to the three principle areas of activity - (1) strengthening institutional and technical capacity in the regions, (2) identifying energy priorities and best practices for energy service provision and (3) facilitating the development of concrete energy supply/efficiency projects in the regions that address the identified needs and policy objectives. Target and Key Actor The principal target groups for the proposed CAREPI project are the regional energy forum, the regional technical teams, the poor communities and the small energy businesses in the regions. PUSPER UMY has a key actor as a technical team in Central Java/Yogyakarta which is responsible for identification of energy needs and priorities, developing energy planning capacity in Central Java/ Yogyakarta region, such as set up of energy database and an integrated energy planning tool, and supporting the regional energy policies.

The work in this WP attempted to address both the qualitative aspects of the actual and potential fuel uses, the need for advise on energy efficiency and savings and the potential productive uses of energy, as well as the more quantitative aspects of energy demand related purchasing power and willingness to pay for energy services. The energy-related needs will be assessed in a variety of ways: existing knowledge of local partners existing statistical surveys specific community surveys conducted by CAREPI participatory workshops with local stakeholders and communities targeted information collection This WP also aimed to identify a range of best practices for energy service provision in order to achieve a better match between energy-related demand in the poor communities and possible solutions. The best practices was targeted where there are significant opportunities to improve on present practices. The results also directly fed into WP 7 and are used for identifying and developing concrete projects that can meet the needs of the poor communities. WP 3: Development of regional technical team. This program involved the identification, establishment, training and institutionalisation of a team in the region that is able to maintain an energy database, to conduct integrated energy planning analysis and to provide the energy forum with quantitative information required for formu- To identify a range of best practices for energy service provision in order to achieve a better match between energy-related demand in the poor communities and possible solutions CAREPI Activities Flow Chart CAREPI technical meeting in Yogyakarta, April lating a sound regional strategy for the whole energy sector and a detailed action plan for improving the access to energy services for reduction of poverty. In order to ensure the sustainability of the institutional set up for regional energy planning, a special activity was foreseen as part of the project that aims to institutionalise the technical team. This means that regional government (in particular the regional Mines and Energy office) recognizes that the team has been part of the energy policy formulation process and ensures the inclusion of the financing of the team in the regular budget lines of the regional government. WP 4: Institutional Strengthening of the regional energy forum is aimed at the establishment, if needed, and strengthening of the regional energy forums. This activity consisted of the identification of relevant stakeholders in the region, facilitating the communication and information exchange between these stakeholders, creating awareness of the current energy problems, formulating the medium term and long term objectives of the energy sector and developing a regional energy strategy that meets these objectives. The strengthening of the forum is achieved by bringing together the identified stakeholders, presenting the current energy situation in the region and discussing the objectives for the regional energy plans and op-

5 INDF: Indonesia Facility, Development of Bio-energy Centre of Expertise (BCE) University of Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta & Technische Universiteit Eindhoven Background Indonesia has great potential for bio-energy since the country has vast areas of land that can be used to cultivate biomass. This makes the introduction of modern forms of bio-energy in the Indonesian economy a welcome new means to fuel their economy. The national government of Indonesian has already acknowledged the need to produce bio-energy and formulated in the Presidential Regulation Number 5 (Year 2006) that it is their objective to secure the domestic energy supply. One of their efforts in reaching this objective is to establish the optimum primary energy mix by 2025, where 5% of the energy supply has to come from biomass and bio-fuels. The idea of introducing this bio-energy based economy has lead to new criticism on the sustainability of these fuels. It is therefore crucial for the proper implementation of bio-energy to do this in a sustainable manner (no competition with food crops, conservation of eco-diversity, etc. Objectives The main objective of the project is to establish a Bio-energy Centre of Expertise (BCE). This centre will be established to: Provide higher level education in the field of bio-energy primary to students of the UMY, but as a spin-off also to the industrial and agricultural sector. This will be shaped as multidisciplinary certificate programme that students from all involved faculties can do in addition to their regular programme. Faculties that will be involved in this certificate programme are the faculty of engineering, agriculture and economics. Conduct research in the fields of biomass conversion technologies, sustainability issues and biomass cultivation for and in cooperation with industrial - and agricultural sector and local communities Demonstrate, diffuse and conduct research with common small scale demonstration units that convert biomass into modern fuels such as: Biomass gasifier, Anaerobe digester, Oil extraction by pressing, Demonstration engine-generator Conduct technical and economical feasibility studies about the biomass cultivation and processing for and in cooperation with industrial - and agricultural sector and local communities Organise conferences for industry, government and researchers to inform them and to bring stakeholders together to stimulate cooperation in sustainable energy projects Function as the knowledge centre in the field of sustainable bio-fuels in Indonesia for Industry and agriculture, but also for local communities that are interested in applying sustainable bioenergy technologies Work in close collaboration between TU/e and PUSPER (UMY) and provide academic support about bio-energy in developing energy planning capabilities in the Yogyakarta region, and supporting regional forums in formulating energy planning policies. Work Package of INDF Project INDF project consists of four work packages which is described as follows: WP 1: Inception phase This WP consists of meeting in Indonesia between the responsible persons of the UMY and the TU/e to discuss and work out future project plans in detail. Outcome of this WP is Project Design Document. Page 5 WP 2: Curriculum for certificate programme on bio-energy for students and industry Curriculum has consisted out of several courses in the field of sustainability, bio-energy conversion technologies, socioeconomical feasibility studies and biomass cultivation. Initially these courses are provided for students and later it will be made available to industry. Students can pick a number courses related to their educational background that if passed will be awarded with a certificate in sustainable bio-energy. To provide higher level education in the field of bio-energy primary to students of the UMY, but as a spin -off also to the industrial and agricultural sector. WP 3: Initiate research activities within the BCE The research activities of the BCE will be done for government, industry and agriculture. This research will be supportive to the educational programme. Initially workshops will be organised to disseminate awareness about the BCE for potentially interested firms. Additionally a website ( will be lounged to provide general information about the centre's activities, intentions and capabilities. A pilot project has already been identified to start the activities of the research centre with.

PEOPLE Surya B. Lesmana Energy Conservation Sri Atmaja P. Rosyidi Energy Infrastructure Rachmat Al-Hasibi Energy Modeling The CASINDO project focuses on five provinces: North Sumatra, Yogyakarta, Central Java, West Nusa Tenggara and Papua. To establish a self-sustaining and self developing structure at both the national and regional level to build and strengthen human capacity to enable the target provinces to formulate sound policy for RE and EE. Project implementation in Special Region of Yogyakarta Province : These provinces were selected by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources based on the identified need for assistance in the province. Objective and Outcome The overall objective of the CAS- INDO programme is to establish a self-sustaining and self developing structure at both the national and regional level to build and strengthen human capacity to enable the provinces of North Sumatra, Yogyakarta, Central Java, West Nusa Tenggara and Papua to formulate sound policies for renewable energy and energy efficiency and to develop and implement sustainable energy projects. The outcome of the programme is to establish a self-sustaining and self-developing structure at the national and regional level to build and strengthen human capacity with respect to integrated energy planning, renewable energy development, energy efficiency and energy access for the poor and that the five target provinces in Indonesia have the capacity to develop and implement their own regional energy plans and to formulate policies for renewable energy and energy efficiency. To achieve the above outcome, the CASINDO programme has to produce the following concrete overall outputs: At the national level, running training programmes on renewables and energy efficiencies are in place for national, regional and local level public organisations. At the national level, staff of DGEEU-DNREEC and DICEMR and ETCERE is provided with training to enhance their capacity to fulfil their normal tasks and has adequate capacity to support regional governments to develop and implement RE/ EE and energy access policies. In the 5 target provinces, there is a measurably increased capacity (in the REF) to develop and implement long term energy strategies, via support to the regional technical teams and backstopping capacity at the local universities and technical schools. The selected universities in each of these 5 provinces serve as lead university. In the 5 target provinces, education and research programmes on renewable/ sustainable energy and energy efficiency have been developed and implemented at the local universities and technical schools and an evaluation of these programmes have been conducted. Sufficient teaching capacity is generated at SMK and university level. Interaction and communication at and between both national and regional levels is strengthened to the point where relevant information on energy policy is adequately exchanged.
